I just downloaded Android Studio and am completely lost. I have tried to get the Android Virtual Device working but my laptop processor (i3) seems to not be working and takes a very long time to load and does not load the android correctly. Any help is appreciated.I have completed the steps to create a virtual device but when I click the 'play' button, a black phone comes out without the features.

I am trying to automate the test of a qr reading app, i am able to change the image that shows as soon as a i open the camera with a virtual scene, however if i change either Toren1BD or rename the custom.png file while the emulator is running then i need to close the app an reopenit to see the changes, is there anyway to make it so that the image can be change without having to close the app?
I am using the emulator that comes with android studio and the testing script is done in Katalon
I'm trying to run a sample Xamarin app and I think my Android emulator is acting up. I've tried enabling Hyper-V, increasing the RAM, telling it to use the host GPU, launching the virtual device from the command line instead of the GUI, and double checking that I have the correct version of the build tools for the version of Android I'm attempting to run.
As a test I've just run the emulator by itself without an app and have discovered that it still shows a white screen even when it is apparently running, somehow. The first image is what I get when I press the Screenshot button. The second image is what I actually see on my desktop. It's been like this for over 10 minutes.
Any advice? I've been Googling like crazy and can't seem to work this out.
Have you tried simply changing the renderer?
Go on the sidebar menu, click the 3 dots>Settings>Advanced and try changing the OpenGL ES Renderer

The Nexus 4 API 27 is the virtual device that you have. If another device was successfully created, it would have been visible in the list.
Refer this Image
These options are used for operations that should be performed on your device Nexus 4 API 27
Your device is created and you can run your device using Run icon.
When hit run button , in Available Virtual Device Section your Device is Shown. Just select and Click OK
I just downloaded and installed Android Studio (v 2.3.3), and am starting to teach myself programming for Android by following Google's tutorials. (I finished the Java MOOC courses offered by University of Helsinki a little while ago). However, I can't seem to get the emulator working (following the instructions here). I chose the Nexus 5x (same as my phone), but it seems to be frozen on the boot screen. The animation has stopped.
This is what it looks like
I've tried deleting the emulator and recreating it again, but that didn't change it. I can't close or stop the emulator. I can't even kill it with the Task Manager (I'm on Windows 10). None of the buttons next to the boot screen do anything, except the three dots on the bottom, which open up the Extended Controls. The Android Virtual Device Manager won't let me start, stop, or delete it. The only way I was able to remove it and create a new one was to kill it by restarting my computer.
It's a fresh installation, and I'm extremely new to Android development, so I have no idea what to try next.
I'm a newbie that needs some help on getting the AVD running with my app. I've been developing C code for decades, but I have to admit the Eclipse/AVD setup has me stumped! I'm following the 'HelloWorld' tutorials on the developer.android website (and some others) and everything seems to be working OK, up to the point where I try to run it on the AVD simulator. I'm not getting any warnings, the Eclipse build/run output window says that everything is installed OK and the AVD does startup and run. Eclipse says that my app is loading, but it never runs. All I get is the simulator window with "ANDROID" on the screen and the buttons on the right-hand side.
I've got Eclipse Indigo and r18 of the Android PlugIn (I tried to install Helios, but the Eclipse website directed me to Indigo!). Is Indigo OK for running the simulator, or do I specifically need Helios? I also have Java 1.7.
The API level I have installed is Level 15 (v4.xxx of Android, I think). Don't know if I need a lower version to get my tutorial app to run, but level 15 is the only one I can select when setting up a device in the AVD manager.
I've been trying to get this going for days, trying all sorts of switches and buttons, but to no avail. Before I start uninstalling everything and reinstalling, can anyone advise if there is anything I might be missing, or has tripped over this problem themselves and found a way around it? Something that always trips up new starters maybe? Or do I need to go back to scratch?
Any help would be much appreciated.
How long are you leaving your emulator running after you attempt to launch your application? The Android OS can take a long time to boot up in the emulator. If it's stuck on the "ANDROID" screen then you're either not waiting long enough or there's something wrong with your emulator. It should eventually boot into the normal Android lock screen or home screen just like a device.
You can launch your emulator ahead of attempting to run your app by opening the Android Virtual Device Manager (toolbar icon in Eclipse, if installed properly) and then selecting an emulator and clicking the "Start" button. If you don't have any emulators listed, then you need to create one by clicking the "New..." button.
